Labor Contractions with the Lap Band

[Dani-X 0]

For those of you who have delivered, did your band have any impact on your contractions? I've had crazy port pain throughout my pregnancy and am wondering if it will continue through my labor? Does the epidural help as far "north" as our port?

thanks!

My port had no pain, no impact. It was really irrelevant and was like I didn't even know it was there.

I am also worried about port pain. I have a pair of jeans that sit right where my port is or something because it hurts when I wear them. Also once a month a do a nail clinic where I am up and down off the floor all day and my port usually really bothers me that day.

Sometimes when lying down on my right side (which is where my port is), my port tends to hurt. But it comes and goes.
